Discover the Latest in Biomedical Research Innovation

Switch to Resazurin (AlamarBlue/PrestoBlue) for accurate, live-cell metabolic monitoring. Our Ultimate Guide covers the differences between the reagents, a master "Add-and-Read" protocol, and the math you need to calculate viability accurately. Perfect for cancer research and cytotoxicity screening. Read the full protocol here.

Yes, you can run an MTT assay on suspension cells, but don't dump the media! You risk losing your sample. Learn the two critical methods—Centrifugation vs. Direct Solubilization—to ensure accurate viability data without washing your cells down the drain.

Are your p-values valid? The Shapiro-Wilk test is the "gold standard" for checking normality in biomedical research. This guide breaks down exactly how to perform the test in GraphPad Prism, SPSS, and R, how to interpret the results (p < 0.05 vs p > 0.05), and what to do when your data "fails" the test. Don't risk a rejected manuscript—master your statistical assumptions today.
